We study the non equilibrium time evolution of an integrable field theory in 1+1 dimensions after a sudden variation of a global parameter of the Hamiltonian. For a class of quenches defined in the text, we compute the long times limit of…

We derive an action for scalar quantum field theory with cubic interaction in the context of relative locality. Beginning with the generating functional for standard $\varphi^3$--theory and the corresponding Feynman rules we modify them to…

In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the wave-function of a free particle which initially is in a finite volume immediately spreads to infinity. In a nonrelativistic theory this is of no concern, but we show that the same instantaneous…

In general relativity, the causal structure between events is dynamical, but it is definite and observer-independent; events are point-like and the membership of an event A in the future or past light-cone of an event B is an…

Study of nonlocal correlations in term of Hardy's argument has been quite popular in quantum mechanics. Recently Hardy's argument of non-locality has been studied in the context of generalized non-signaling theory as well as theory…

We present a relational framework in which temporal structure is not fundamental but emerges from correlations within a globally stationary quantum state. Each subsystem includes an internal clock, and conditional states evolve effectively…

The problems connected with a causality of space-time universe and with the paradox of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen are considered. A main philosophical problem and its possible solutions are briefly discussed. A concept of unified local…

We develop foundations for a relational approach to quantum field theory (RQFT) based on the operational quantum reference frames (QRFs) framework considered in a relativistic setting. Unlike other efforts in combining QFT with QRFs, we use…

In this thesis, I investigate aspects of local Hamiltonians in quantum computing. First, I focus on the Adiabatic Quantum Computing model, based on evolution with a time dependent Hamiltonian. I show that to succeed using AQC, the…

Quantum nonlocality without entanglement (Q-NWE) encapsulates nonlocal behavior of multipartite product states as they may entail global operation for optimal decoding of the classical information encoded within. Here we show that the…

It is well known that a fundamental theorem of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) set in at spacetime ensures the CPT invariance of the theory. This symmetry is strictly connected to the Lorentz covariance, and consequently to the fundamental…

In order to resolve the measurement problem of Quantum Mechanics, non-unitary time evolution has been derived from the unitarity of standard quantum formalism. New wave functions of free and non-free quantum systems follow from Schroedinger…

In this paper we tackle the issue of causality in quantum gravity, in the context of 3d spin foam models. We identify the correct procedure for implementing the causality/orientation dependence restriction that reduces the path integral for…

The need for a time-shift invariant formulation of quantum theory arises from fundamental symmetry principles as well as heuristic cosmological considerations. Such a description then leaves open the question of how to reconcile global…

We present a first-quantized formulation of the quadratic non-commutative field theory in the background of abelian (gauge) field. Even in this simple case the Hamiltonian of a propagating particle depends non-trivially on the momentum…

We present and investigate two issues within the measurement scheme for QFT presented by J. Polo-G\'omez, L. J. Garay and E. Mart\'in-Mart\'inez in "A detector-based measurement theory for quantum field theory". We point out some…

Firstly, nonlocal field theories will be motivated, primarily in the gravity sector. We discuss how nonlocal theories of gravity can circumvent typical problems of finitely-many higher derivative theories and can, among other things, be…

The dynamics of a particle in an expanding cavity is investigated in the Klein-Gordon framework in a regime in which the single particle picture remains valid. The cavity expansion represents a time-dependent boundary condition for the…

It is widely appreciated, due to Bell's theorem, that quantum phenomena are inconsistent with local-realist models. In this context, locality refers to local causality, and there is thus an open possibility for reproducing the quantum…

Quantum state diffusion shows how stochastic interaction with the environment may cause localisation of the wave-function, and thereby demonstrates that quantum mechanics need not invoke a separate axiom of measurement to explain the…
